How much did NA -ing your turbo cost? Lol. Nice time lapse . With that easy install, probably only took 15 minutes haha.

It's a bolt-in installation.

Now I’m pretty sure there is still room for a turbo. Somewhere. How’s the rear underside of the car looking for available space? Not much space? How about under the hood? Not much there either? Maybe a bit bigger or like a huge one? Or two smaller but still big ones? There’s always space outside the body panels...
Like this.

Negative. It’s not about room for a turbo. It’s about unwritten Rennlist rules that must be followed.

1. You can’t Turbo an NA
2. You can only tow a race car with a dually diesel
3. You’re only safe on track in a fully caged car
—3b. Preferably it should be a fresh 911 Cup Car

Did you make any dam/rad skirting to direct incoming air for cooling?

The majority of the stock side plastic air direction cladding around the radiator remains, just notched to run the oil cooler lines in. The underside is sealed by the splitter which extends back from the nose to leading edge of the radiator. You can see the splitter in the track shots, it’s not attached in the engine install picture.

Night and day. Torque everywhere, pulls like a freight train from any rpm and feels very understressed.

I totally believe the v8 would be a grand driving experience. One day maybe I'll have the honour to be a passenger in your car Chrenan! Looks like a top quality build... and not a cheap one.

You bet Noah, when you’re up we’ll go for a drive.

Some of the parts were pricey but the labour was $0 per hour.
